Specializing in cannabis law was once viewed as a controversial career move for an attorney. But the demands of existing clients and the lure of new business opportunities have overtaken any remaining taboo around marijuana. On this bonus episode of Legal Speak, co-host Vanessa Blum checks in with Law.com reporter Cheryl Miller to catch up on the industry trends and hot issues that are keeping cannabis lawyers busy. Miller, who’s based in Sacramento, writes Law.com’s Higher Law newsletter, a weekly update on news and developments at the intersection of cannabis and the legal industry. Legal Speak is brought to you by Econ One, offering economic expertise, consulting and dispute resolution, and data analytics.
